For clarification- does this mean that to be a qualified show there must be 3 bantam exhibitors and 3 largefowl exhibitors for the open show to be considered qualified? Or does it mean 3 bantam open exhibitors or 3 large fowl open exhibitors to meet the minimum to qualify?
With 3 or more exhibitors in each Open Show class (bantam or large fowl) –
Best of Breed.…………………….Rosette
Does this statement mean that the junior show need only 1 exhibitor to be considered a qualified junior show?
In Junior competition, regardless of the number of exhibitors of Ameraucana in a class (bantam or large fowl), a rosette is earned for Best of Breed.
So If I am understanding this correctly, the junior show could qualify for points but the open show might not qualify if only 1 open and 1 junior exhibited?

Yes, it is \"or\".

Yes, to encourage youth to exhibit Ameraucanas...even those that aren\'t ABC members.

The devil seems to be in the details doesnt it? It\'s kinda like the Good Book says in Ecclesiastes, \"A meaningless chasing after the wind.\"
John:
We used to ask to have the top bantams judged against the top LF, but often times that was just not done at the shows. I know as a former show superintendent that it can be easily overlooked as everyone gets busy and most breed clubs don\'t ask for it thier meet reports. We still do it for our national meets, since there are special awards for champion over-all.

I know that at the shows that I attend, when I am filling out the show report forms, I always go to the judge with the form and ask which was best in juniors ( large or bantam) and which was best in Open. The judge is always good to go take a look. I think it gets overlooked because usually there is a different judge for large than bantam so they have to get together and decide.
So to clarify further.. what if there was 1 large fowl open exhibitor and 2 bantam open exhibitors? Would that qualify? Or must there be 3 bantam exhibitors or 3 large fowl exhibitors for the show to qualify?
If we only need 1 junior exhbitor that would certainly encourage our juniors. Any show they went to would qualify them for points... so long as it was a show that was granted a meet by the director of course.
If we can get our kids excited, those parents will come along to see their kids excell. I have always been a strong advocate of a youth program within a breed club. It does build the club\'s numbers.
Our club does need a youth program IMHO... has there been discussion on that in the past? Have we ever had a youth director? What would be the process of bringing a motion to the board to discuss the adding of an official youth program? And secondly, if the youth program passed, what would be the process of putting a youth director possition on our next election docket?
